Chapter 26
The assembly call was sounded, and the officers and soldiers of the National Army got up one after another, and gathered in a hurry under the leadership of their respective platoon leaders.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!! The first battalion gathers here!!!" Zhang Tianhai stood on a commanding height and roared hard. There was no way, but in this era, there was no portable electric speaker, so he could only do this now.
After all, in this era, communication basically depends on yelling, and public security basically depends on dogs. What can we do? Zhang Tianhai is also very desperate...
The gunshots in the distance became more intense, and they also had explosions, which was deafening - the battle over there became more intense.
Zhang Tianhai looked up and looked in the direction where the sound of gunfire came, but found that the smoke from the other side was rolling, rushing straight into the sky.
It seems that the degree of the grenade explosion is still quite dense.
Zhang Tianhai is an old man from the First Battalion and has been in the position of deputy company commander of the Second Company, so there has not been any embarrassment of no one knowing the new battalion commander yet.
However, compared to the vast lineup of more than 600 people before setting off in Xi'an, it seemed much deserted at this time, because only about half of the people in the camp were standing here lively.
It has to be said that the troops trained by top students who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy have done quite well in terms of discipline, at least not like those local troops, and are still noisy after the assembly.
Everyone was quietly waiting for the new battalion commander's words.
Zhang Tianhai's throat moved lightly and said loudly: "Transfer the regiment commander, our battalion will serve as the reserve team for this attack battle, with the Second and Third Battalions as the main attack troops! Do you understand?!"
"I understand!" everyone responded in unison, and it sounded like that.
But Zhang Tianhai's brows frowned slightly, because what he heard was a kind of fatigue and helplessness, rather than a sound of high morale.
"I didn't hear it! Didn't you eat breakfast? Tell me loudly in your voice that we are aces and we are fearless of these damn invaders! Do you understand?" Zhang Tianhai shouted loudly. He knew clearly what consequences would happen if a combat unit was pulled onto the battlefield when the morale of a combat force was sluggish.
At the least, the battle will be defeated, and at the worst, the army will be defeated like a mountain!
Therefore, he must regain the fighting spirit and morale of this army!
Because these soldiers were so tired, physically and mentally exhausted! If they didn't even have the morale to fight the enemy, then this army would be over.
"I understand!!!" the officers and soldiers responded in unison, their voices being several times louder than the ones just now.
And this time, Zhang Tianhai was finally a little satisfied. Whether in his previous life or this life, these are the highest positions he held. In this life and his previous life, they are undoubtedly very similar.
First of all, we have to start with Zhang Tianhai's troops when he was in the previous life. When Zhang Tianhai was in the position of deputy squadron leader, he was promoted to squadron leader. He came to this era of war when he was about to be promoted to deputy squadron leader.
Therefore, his highest position in his previous life was the squadron leader, that is, the company commander.
When he arrived here, he still served as deputy company commander. After Li Haocheng died, he was promoted to company commander.
Therefore, his two lives were the company commander and deputy company commander who stayed the longest time.
Fortunately, God finally did not put him on the most chaotic battlefield, nor did he brutally throw him on the ground of the shelling target.
This is the only place where Zhang Tianhai thanked God after coming to this era.
Why is the only place to thank God? Nonsense, I could have lived a peaceful life in the future, but I saw that life had just come to a juncture of having a car, a house and a future, and I just had to spend my life with my wife.
However, it was at this stall that he threw him into the Republic of China. It was fake to say that he was not angry.
However, Zhang Tianhai is not the kind of person who gives up on his own. Otherwise, he would not have survived the first half of his life. As a proud son born in poverty and mountains, he could still bear this kind of suffering.
But these sins were not what he deserved, and it really seemed quite unfair.
Not far away, the regiment commander Hu Jiaji, who had just bandaged his wound, limped out of the battlefield hospital with the help of the guards, and just saw the scene in front of him.
Seeing that the soldiers from the battalion not far away from the opposite side still seemed to be in the pre-war state of morale, and did not seem to be affected by the fight. Hu Jiaji was happy all of a sudden and asked, "It's a bit interesting, which soldier is this?"
Hu Jiaji asked Guo Qiliang, who had the most contact with the troops below.
Guo Qiliang frowned slightly, looked at the familiar figure, and got the answer in a while: "The regiment seat is the soldiers of the first battalion. Look, the person standing there is Battalion Zhang Zhang."
When Hu Jiaji learned that it was Zhang Tianhai, he chuckled and said, "It turned out to be Zhang Tianhai. The soldiers led by this kid seem to be so. I don't know how the war will happen?"
"I think the soldiers with Zhang Tianhai's abilities should not be too bad. If the soldiers he led were all as unafraid of death and fighting as he was as unafraid as his, it would be a blessing for our army." The person who spoke was Fang Ren, the chief of staff. He said this not because Zhang Tianhai was his fellow villager, but from the heart.
"Zhengguo, you can't favor Zhang Yulin just because he is your fellow villager." Hu Jiaji joked that for him, Captain Hu, perhaps he was injured, that was a great thing, at least he was not so irritable.
He was waiting for the troops from the Second and Third Battalions to gather and come to him!
"If the regiment thinks that Zhang Yulin is a useless man, he would not have taken the risk of promoting a person who has just served as the commander of the company to serve as the commander of the first battalion. The second company commander Li Haocheng died, and the commander of the first company Chen Dacheng was injured. The number one candidate for the promotion to the commander of the first battalion should be Sun Hongcai. The regiment, you have the heart to cherish your talents, and you cannot regard Fang Zhengguo as the villain." Fang Zhengguo rebels the first army, and he and the commander Hu complement each other with each other.
"Haha, Zhengguo, do you understand me? Sun Hong is too honest and a person of normalcy. Such a person is good at fighting positions. But if I don't say anything, you also understand Hu Jiaji's temper. I am the kind of person with an impatient temper, so I want to use Zhang Yulin's sword to take the sharp blade. Do you understand?" Hu Jiaji sighed softly. Obviously, for him before, Li Haocheng was the best candidate to take over the first battalion after Xiong Xinmin left, but unfortunately he sacrificed.
Fang Ren nodded and said, "What the team said is very true, it is both right and strange. Besides, we are now the offensive side, not the defensive side. Zhang Tianhai is in the battle, and Zhengguo thinks it is just right."
As he was speaking, a team of soldiers were running towards Hu Jiaji under the leadership of the commander, and the people along the way gave way to them.
The officer led the officer trotted all the way to Hu Jiaji, stood attentively and saluted: "Reporting to the regiment seat, the third battalion commander Gu Xinheng led all the officers and soldiers of the battalion to arrive, please give me instructions."
Hu Jiaji nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Report the casualties in your camp at the Battle of Gongping Road."
